What is the shape of the cross-section formed when a plane containing line AC and line EH intersects this cube? What is the area

of the cross-section? In two or more complete sentences, explain how you were able to determine the shape and area of the cross-section. Be sure to include the properties of quadrilaterals and the mathematical computations necessary to support your answers

Answer:

Cross section is a rectangle.

Area of cross section = 16 sqrt(2) = 22.63 sq. units (to 2 decimals)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a cube.

top face ABCD is parallel and congruent to bottom face EFGH ........(1)

justified by the properties of cubes

Sides AE and CH are perpendicular to faces ABCD and EFGH ..........(2)

justified by the properties of cubes

Diagonals AC and EH are congruent ......................(3)

justified by (1), congruent top and bottom faces

Consider cross-section ACHE

AC is congruent and parallel to EH (1) & (3)

EA & HC are perpendicular to AC (2)

Therefore the quadrilateral ACHE is a rectangle.

Length of diagonal AC = sqrt(4^2+4^2) = 4 sqrt(2) ..........pythagoras theorem

AE = CH = DG = 4 properties of cube, all sides equal

Area of ACHE = 4* 4sqrt(2) = 16 sqrt(2) = 22.63 sq. units

find the value of x if A, B and C are collinear points and B is between A and C. AB= 6x, BC= x-5, AC= 23

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

AB + BC = AC

AB= 6x, BC= x-5, AC= 23

Substituting what we know

6x + x-5 = 23

Combine like terms

7x -5 = 23

Add 5 to each side

7x-5+5 =23+5

7x = 28

Divide each side by 7

7x/7 = 28/7

x=4

Rusty's hair grows at the rate of 1 over 4 inch per month.

Nadya [2.5K]

1/4 = 2/8. Remember that. This means that 1/8 is equal to half of a month. It there is 5/8, you can add a half month for every eights. In this case, it will take 2 and a half months
Easy Way:<span>If your hair were to grow 1/4 inches a month, it would also grow 2/8 inches a month, since 1/4 = 2/8. How long with it take 1/8 (0.5/4)inches to grow? It would take a half of a month for your hair to grow 1/8 inches.
</span><span>Now that we know 1/8 inches grows in a half of a month, we add a half of a month for every eigths. Since we are trying to figure out how long it would take for it to grow 5/8 inches, we add 5 half months to get the answer of 2 and a half months. Kind of confusing, but that is the best way I can describe it.</span>

Let's Solve ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 4 {x}^{2} + 20x + 25$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 4 {x}^{2} + 10x + 10x + 25$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 2x(2x + 5) + 5(2x + 5)$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: (2x + 5) (2x + 5)$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: (2x + 5) {}^{2}$

or

$\sf{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 4x² + 20x + 25 }$

$\sf{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: (2x)² + (2 \sdot 2x \sdot 5) + (5)²}$

[ it's similar to expression - a² + 2ab + b² that is equal to (a + b)² ]

so, let's use this identity here to factorise :

$\sf{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: (2x + 5)²}$

I hope it was helpful ~

F(x)=|x+3|-1 range and domain

KiRa [710]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

Domain: (-∞, ∞)

Range: [-1, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an absolute-value function. (Graphed below) The vertex is at (-3, -1) which consists of the minimum y-value of the function. Therefore:

Domain: (-∞, ∞)

Range: [-1, ∞)
